May I ask

Which characters will include in the primal moon scenario ?

Essentially, whichever characters I can think of scenarios for- writing Monkiefam was pretty easy, because monkeys have complex hierarchies to draw from. I spent a while observing different species at a local zoo (they’re mean. God, they’re so mean.) and decided to write a fic based on the behaviors I saw. (I’ll post that video at the bottom!)

Despite their status as the lowest ranked member of the ‘troop’, Wukong sees Y/N as his biological child. He won’t listen to any arguments about the difference in age or species, no matter what evidence is presented to refute him. Macaque is seen as his ‘little brother’, their rivalry temporarily forgotten. (Though only on Wukong’s end.)

The Great Sage is just lucid enough to recognize MK as his cherished student, and tries to give him advice… but his mind is a little too muddled by viridescence to offer anything sound. He also accidentally enables the worst of Primal!MK’s traits by complimenting and comforting him whenever things go wrong.

He’s thankfully rather laidback about the whole thing, only getting violent when he feels that his ‘family’ or status are threatened.

Macaque returns to his long-forgotten docile demeanor, a remnant of his days as a member of the Sworn Brotherhood- though he tries to fight the shift. It butchers the simian’s pride to resume a position of submissiveness, especially now that it’s to two people- one of whom may well be a teenager. Also, he’s sincerely desperate for comfort and companionship, so he spends most of the week fighting himself to not participate in any bonding activities.

He’ll make a ‘rank-scaling’ attempt or two, only to get beaten down and potentially pushed behind even Y/N in terms of status if he does it enough.

Sun Wukong->MK->Macaque->Y/N is the troop ranking, and it’s pretty rigid.

MK is, uh… in a pretty rough state. He’s never had any preparation for the Primal Moon, thinking himself a regular human for almost the entire time that he’s been alive.

———————————————————————

Honestly, it’s Tang that gives me the hardest time! assuming we can call upon his cicada ancestry, he’s- got absolutely nothing. Female cicadas use their ovipositors to slice into thin branches many times, leaving clutches of eggs as they go- that’s about as far as parental instincts go for them, given that they and the males die soon after breeding. (The males, in fact, die pretty much directly after.) I guess I’d place him with Princess Iron Fan and Ne Zha as the ‘normal’ guys.

Pigsy is, as you know- a male pig. Who are notorious piglet-killers. Eating piglets, stepping on piglets, rolling over and crushing piglets- intentionally killing entire piglet litters to force females back into estrus- it gets pretty brutal. So I still haven’t figured out what I want to do with him for this story- though I imagine he’ll be aggressive/hair-trigger, with Tang being the one thing that holds him back.

———————————————————————

Mei was pretty easy to write, but I did a lot of research on Chinese dragons in order to keep my representation of her respectful. Dragons in the west are usually reduced to bloodthirsty beasts of pride and rage- creatures to be slain and overcome as monstrous final obstacles. This portrayal even dates back to Beowulf, with the dragon portrayed then going on to characterize many dragons that came after it. (For example, Smaug was based partly on Beowulf’s dragon, and partly on Fafnir- so if any others dragons are based on Smaug, then they too call back upon the original.

In Chinese culture, dragons are considered wise and powerful beings. They’re worshipped as symbols of prosperity and good luck, and considered very auspicious beings.

So, Mei seems more composed in this AU- but it’s all an act. Given the stigma that non-humans have on account of the Primal Moon, she spends a lot of time pretending to be something that she’s not so that no one ends up being afraid. Mei’s obsession with with Y/N primarily stems from their complete acceptance of who she is, inside and out. Instead of having to pretend to be dignified and wise and rational, she gets to be the real Mei. She can goofy and energetic with you, not afraid to roughhouse or throw hands.

———————————————————————-

For Bullfam, I think Princess Iron Fan very much would be the ‘only sane man’- if two things weren’t occurring:

1. Her husband wasn’t trying to talk her into having a second child and worshipping her every step, his tongue spinning crude admirations of her beauty and battle prowess.

2. Her son wasn’t clinging to her waist and arms, begging for validation and attention, futilely trying to drag her into his workshop to compliment his blueprints and machines.

So she has her boy (after some headpats and a little bit of buttering up) run off to the surface and snatch a suitably young human who’s been left unattended, imposing them as a temporary ‘second child’ and ‘younger sibling’… before getting attached. Even though they were supposed to be disposable, she works them into a more permanent fixture of her family.

Given that Red Son is the one who picks you out, he feels a special bond with you. Instead of being more aggressive or even prouder- Red gets clingy. His desire for love and respect comes to the forefront, leading him to latch onto Y/N as tightly as possible. Hugs, headpats, back rubs, hair combing- he wants affection in as many forms as possible. I like to think he temporarily grows horns during the Primal Moon, and that he really likes having them rubbed and polished.

And as for Demon Bull King… this man is already aggressive as hell and pretty damn tempestuous, seeing red at the drop of a hat. So, with very little inhibition as is, he’s the sort of demon hit hardest. Bull King’s mental faculties degrade by a touch or two, rendering him very animalistic. He’s the opposite of Mei here- she puts herself through a ton of suppression and training and it all pays off spectacularly. He actively leans into the instincts and new power the viridescence brings, reveling in a more bestial state.

So, while Y/N openly and freely gives Mei love and affection, they instead cower and hide from Demon Bull King.

He wants more kids. Wants to spend more time with his wife. Wants to fight and break and feast. And when Y/N is abducted brought home, his aggression outright doubles. This is kinda good, though- now he’s so protective that he’s pacing the fortress in hourly patrols, wearing himself out as he digs deep grooves into the earth, carving his sigil into the stones around him many times over, marking the territory as inextricably his.

And all he wants upon returning home is a nap- with his entire family piled onto the bed, of course.

———————————————————————

Also, if anyone has recommendations for how characters should act, I’d be happy to hear them!

Archive posting. This was page 857. It's Fafnir from Final Fantasy 12-I really loved the big drake/wyrm designs in that game.

All my posts used to look like this-no scanner, and my phone camera was crap, so I'd include Ohtori rolled over on his back in each photo, just for fun

I had no idea this doll had even shipped, so it was the most awesome surprise ever when I got the knock on my door from FedEx. The eyes and wig pictured are not the ones I’ll be using long term but I haven’t found anything I really like yet. Thank goodness the gorgeous outfit from Bunny Heart arrived last week!

So here’s my newest dolly arrival Magic Mirror Fafnir, my gorgeous little dragon (and note the crystal horns, these dolls were originally stated to include horns in the same color as the body which somewhat bummed me out as I really liked the crystal horns on the prototype - I’m so happy to have received the crystal horns instead!):

Part 6:

Narration talks about the Dragons of Yggdrasil and how special they are. Narration retells the legend of Beowulf and what it means if a dragon chose a human as its partner. Back to present, Beowulf introduce Wyrm to the group. MCYuuji tells Beowulf the truth about this game. Cut to Loki who spells out the true purpose of Odin’s game. Human simply didn't realize that they had been deprived of choices. They will no longer be able to die and as such will reach a dead end. Beowulf disapproves of this. Suddenly brainwashed members of the F-kare cast shows up (Bacchus, Sol, Orgus, Nidhogg, Fafnir’s dad, another Yuuji(?) ). After “defeating” Beowulf and the others, the game concludes and White Gordon’s mask breaks. Odin ask what is their wish.

Narration talks about Odin and how he came to Yggdrasil. Odin’s lover, Thor, was supposed to die in his battle against Jormungandr. In this alternate future he created, Odin breaks a forbidden rule to ensure that Thor will never be separated from him. Back to present, The group reached the top floor where Odin(?) awaits them. He ask them what is their wish. Fafnir ask if this is really Odin. Loki rolled in to say that this Odin is similar to the “followers” and is just copying Odin’s personality to some extent. We get some exchange from Loki and Jormungandr. Loki is surprised how big Jormungandr gotten and other censored stuff. Jormungandr has no idea what Loki is saying. Anyway, Jormungandr ask his dad Loki if he’s the true mastermind behind everything. Loki says it’s the opposite. He was supposed to stop Odin. In this alternate future, Odin absorbed the others gods, including this future’s Loki. So no one was able to stop him. Odin takes the group to the omniscience room. Loki tells YuujiMC they too will become one with omniscience and will be unable to leave this realm forever. That Odin would have become that way even without his help anyway. In the past, many brave men came here, and each and every one of them turned into a missing mob. If you want something, just ask how to do it. Human consciousness is never free. It is impossible to surpass the vessels of the brain and body. Therefore, there is no living creature that can answer this question worthy of omniscience by itself. This isn't even a matter of faith. It's the logical conclusion. YuujiMC gives the usual inspirational “No” speech. Loki says he always clean Odin’s and Thor’s mess. It always been like that. Yuuji gives another “No” speech and use boundless tail with the help of the Original F-Kare universe Yuuji. The barrier between futures is broken as Yuuji and the others we know have return. Along with the original timeline versions of Klaus, Fafnir and Gordon. Yuuji explains that he came here when he heard the Original Yuuji called out for him. Yuuji says leave the rest to him and his group as they fight off Loki.

To be continued in the Epilouge

Reading Throne of Glass (10-12)

Disclaimer

Nitpicky but that's just how I enjoy most media. I'm still giving the story a fair chance. Except the racist Nehemia plotline.

Chapter 10

Red marble, its white veins illuminated in the light of the sun, which slowly vanished as the opaque glass doors groaned shut. Chandeliers and torches hung all around. Her eyes darted from one side of the large, crowded chamber to the next. There were no windows, just a wall of glass looking out into nothing but sky. No escape, save for the door behind her. To her left, a fireplace occupied most of the wall, (...) It was monstrous, shaped like a roaring, fanged mouth, a blazing fire burning within. There was something greenish about the flame, something that made her spine straighten.

Ate up UtM in two paragraphs, that's crazy.

Also the green light is definitely something magic right? Celaena seeing it from outside the castle also now has me convinced the fucking castle is seethrough and I hate it.

Celaena every time she sees Chaol: there he is, I could kill him right now if I really wanted to

Celaena every time she sees Dorian: somehow he's gotten more beautiful. His outfit is on point. His hair is perfect.

Okay the king is evil but he's also up by like, a thousand points? Conquered the continent in less than 20 years, banned magic and then literally got rid of it, lives in a glass castle and has the sword Nothung??? Who's doing it like him? Nobody.

Nothung or Notung, also called Gram or Balmung, is a magical sword from Norse Mythology. It is often depicted with a dragon on it - including here in tog. It is used to slay the dragon, Fafnir. In Adventure Time, it belongs to the legendary hero, Billy.

Celaena is the only woman in the competition. Boring but unsurprising. She's in a fancy dress so most people don't even realise she's one of the competitors.

Instead of immediately thinking to use them underestimating her to her advantage, she's insulted that no one takes note of her. This is the opposite of smart and cohesive character writing. The assassin wants to be the centre of attention. Sure, Jan.

Also, I don't think sjm quite understands the concepts of king's champion and assassin.

The king's champion is a public figure who is basically recognised as having the authority of the king. They would usually be a lord, a knight or a warrior priest - they have to be a great swordsman as they will essentially fight on the king's behalf.

An assassin is usually a non-combatant. They don't engage in much hand to hand or sword fighting. They often kill in non-violent ways. In the case they have a well known alias or persona it's a bogeyman tactic - it's to instill the fear in the target and trust in the client of an inescapable, almost unpredictable death.

Even if people know the name Celaena Sardothien, they shouldn't know what she looks like or where she is.

A flicker of shame sparked within her. What was “Champion” but a dressed-up name for murderer? That's literally what you do tho? That's what we've been made sure to know you take pride in being the best at??

The moderately handsome competitor will get a name, a story and maybe become an ally. The big scary man will be the evil villain. I would say it's childish but SJM still writes characters this way as a grown woman

SJM has a problem with removing the tension from her own narrative. The premise of this book is that Celaena competes in a deadly competition against ruthless murderers and all the while the evil king is lurking. So why drag out the competition to last 13 weeks????

The same was true for Amarantha giving Feyre a month between each trial. It makes the villains look not only less threatening but down right stupid to house, feed AND TRAIN their own enemies?????

If the king was smart he'd pick out 3 psychopaths in his own army and put them in charge of creating a death squad. They'd be more ruthless and more loyal than some criminal picked by one of your overly ambitious subjects.

Is it just me? Is my brain too evil? Is the answer not obvious?

This scene - the king addressing his courtiers and their handpicked champions - does a good job of showing how (besides the point I just brought up) serious and stern and scary the king is. Everyone from murderers to his own nobles flinches and cowers.

Everyone except Dorian. This scene does an even better job at setting up how smart Dorian is. He waits until he knows his father is about 90% through then interrupts and sees himself out. It's a dangerous but brilliant play.

All at once Dorian is reminding all his father's ambitious courtiers that he is above them - he can do what they cannot.

And through the same action he's actually reinforcing his father's favour: the king is reminded Dorian isn't a coward or a follower, he has the iron and will to go against the raging current - he is the only one who could take up the throne and not be crushed by it.

Very well done.

Then outside, he's instantly back to cheerful and snarky. Love him.

Back to them being stupid. Why wait until now to pull out the alias??? Celaena was bailed out, travelled for weeks, came to the castle and even signed on a piece of paper using the name CELAENA SARDOTHIEN.

“To everyone in this castle,” Dorian said, “your name is Lillian Gordaina. Your mother is dead and your father is a wealthy merchant from Bellhaven. You are the sole heir to his fortune. However, you have a dark secret: you spend your nights as a jewel thief. I met you this summer after you tried to rob me while I was vacationing in Bellhaven, and I saw your potential then. But your father discovered your nightly fun, and removed you from the lure of the city to a town near Endovier. When my father decided to have this competition, I journeyed to find you, and brought you here as my Champion. You can fill in the gaps yourself.”

Celaena's third identity has a more fleshed out backstory than Feyre Archeron

She raised her brows. “Really? A jewel thief?” idk if sjm thinks she's funny for pointing out the nonsense in her own plot or what. Cause I'm not gonna brush past this just cause it's brought up in the book. Why the fuck would a jewel thief be in the competition to become king's champion?? That's somehow worse than assassin

Kaltain!!! She would have ended Ianthe and Mor and Amren. I wanna see her and Nesta go back and forth, a verbal duel please. On a good day - a day when sjm is consistent - I don't think she could take Elain.

...I do hope we’ll see more of each other, Lady Lillian,” she said, watching her with a keenness that would make any assassin proud. “We must be friends, you and I.”

Kaltain is already soooo interesting. Her, Lucien and Nesta need to have a passive aggressive dinner.

She glared. “I hate women like that. They’re so desperate for the attention of men that they’d willingly betray and harm members of their own sex. And we claim men cannot think with their brains! At least men are direct about it.”

When you hate pickme's so much you horseshoe around back to also being a misogynistic pickme. Also you're describing a certain someone who puts a man and other men above her own sisters it's crazy

So glad that Celaena, who is actually a monarch, and Chaol, who is a lord from a slaver kingdom, bonded over how Kaltain is evil for being a rich girl with servants

You'll get training...but the competition begins tomorrow? No one knows how things naturally progress??

Chapter 11

She didn’t care that she had only a few months to beat the other Champions—she needed sleep. see, you killed the sense of urgency for the characters and the readers

Again, the king is training and arming the criminals in his own home. This could not be stupider.

I can forgive the dumb shit Celaena does like complaining about clothes because her thoughts make it obvious she is a little scared and worried about the competition.

Cain walks up to her to chat shit, she gets mad and thinks it would have been easy to grab his neck and slam his head into the floor. He's huge, I don't think that would have been easy at all actually.

Celaena and Chaol's sword practice is pretty good. I like that Chaol was the one to catch her off guard with a trick.

Don't get why the competitors train within view of each other though, knowledge is the first weapon of war.

Chaol is up 10 points, I like him. I'm pretty biased because this training scene made me think of Cassian and Feyre and what I could have had

Chapter 12

Theodus Brullo. Weapons Master of 30 years, trained Chaol. Characters like these just existing show how lazy sjm is in acotar.

At least 6 of the competitors were kicked out of the King's army. Why are they alive? Make them a squad or kill them.

Nox Owen. Moderately handsome guy that's been smiling at Celaena.

...and then there were the two shackled murderers. As his name suggested, Bill Chastain, the Eye Eater, ate the eyes of his victims. He looked surprisingly plain, with mousy brown hair, tan skin, and average height, though Celaena had trouble not staring at his scar-flecked mouth. The other murderer was Ned Clement, who’d gone for three years under the name Scythe, for the weapon he’d used to torture and hack apart temple priestesses. It was a wonder they hadn’t executed either man, though from their tanned skin, she guessed they’d spent the years since their captures toiling under the sun in Calaculla, the southern sister labor camp to Endovier.

In acotar the prison is called the Prison and the guy who carves with bone is called the Bone Carver

They weren’t even in the Assassins Guild—not that Arobynn Hamel would ever allow them in. Membership required years of training and a more-than-impressive track record. While these four might be skilled, they lacked the refinement that Arobynn favored in his followers. She’d have to keep an eye on them, but at least they weren’t the Silent Assassins from the windswept dunes of the Red Desert.

I wanna read about them, I hope Arobynn is as cool as he's building up to be. That means not falling for stupid shit, it better be actually difficult to take him down

Brullo is making the competitors do a fitness run. I'd fail immediately. Send me home

“If I have to call myself a jewel thief again—” Chaol raised his brows. “You’ll do what, exactly?” “Do you know how insulting it is to pretend to be some nobody thief from a small city in Fenharrow?” He stared her down, quiet for a moment. “Are you that arrogant?” She bristled, but he went on. “It was foolish to spar with you just now. I’ll admit that I hadn’t realized you’d be that good. Thankfully, no one noticed. And do you want to know why, Lillian?” He took a step closer, his voice lowering. “Because you’re some pretty little girl. Because you’re a nobody jewel thief from a small city in Fenharrow...

This was wildly attractive, don't ask me why. Chaol is up another 5 points.

His advice to her is smart. Play the middle ground for the long run so no one sees you as an immediate threat or an easy target.

Cain gotta be on magic steroids. I'm calling it rn.

I like that sjm realistically depicts the limits of the human body. The run is doable but it takes a lot out of Celaena and she has to throw up in the woods afterwards while seeing stars. Her years of training is the only thing that got her through it.

It's a shame that sjm didn't continue to get better as an author.

----

Overall still enjoying the read. There's pitfalls and potholes here and there but I can feel sjm putting an effort into this story that has unfortunately become rare these days not just for her but for fantasy romance as a whole. Of course it's also mostly her influence that caused this decline.

I genuinely like these 3 characters soooo much. I peaked ahead and I know Nehemia shows up next chapter so I'm excited to read that tomorrow.

Dorian is my favourite in terms of character potential but I can definitely see why Celaena falls for Chaol.

Celaena herself is really so fleshed out that even her worst traits don't bother me because I can see where they come from. She does a lot of active dissociating from her real feelings by focusing on shallow likes and dislikes in her immediate situation

wondering about this but there hasnt been cases of confirmed 100% humans going through draconizations in fire emblem aside from fafnir, is there?

(edelgard aside, but that is less dragon and more beast @_@)

i ask bc lore wise the closest we get is robin from awakening, but even in their case, their main human body doesnt get transformed into grima. grima seems to just materialize using their body as a conduit, so it technically doesnt count as draconizing

if thats the case draconizing is so exceedingly rare or outright impossible that fafnir, someone who was isekai'd, is the only one to be able to do it after being converted into one by eitri

considering eitri was super interested in experimenting on otherwolders including kiran, im wondering if kiran is also susceptible to being draconized. eitri understands theres some unique element to them.

and fafnir at no point was confirmed to be from any FE worlds. he could have been a dude from the roman empire for all we know.

i do admit this is... a wild thing to head cannon about and probably a galaxy stretch, yeah, but. hrm...?? ????

As a German person, the Dragon Knights are especially funny to me, because I understand what all their skill names mean

Also, it's so fucking funny to me that we have these knights from Arthurian legend right next to Siegfried, hero of the Nibelung Saga

And the Nibelung guy fucks the hardest! Make me proud, Siggy

But yeah, the dragon blood makes sense, since in the legend, Siegfried killed a dragon and bathed in its blood to become impervious to all damage, but a tiny leaf landed on his shoulder, I believe it was, leading to one tiny spot not being invulnerable and his nemesis found out about that and killed him by stabbing him in this one tiny spot that could still be damaged

You could also argue Siegfried being very cocky stems from his namesake being damn near invulnerable

But mostly, he is hot, and what more could you ask for?

Summer Siegfried came home to me.

Be more like Siegfried, Belial.

omg this is so cool!! glad you can see so much of the reference there!!

once in a while their skills are in french so i feel you on the "oh wait i recognize that", but considering their general aesthetics is more german based this is really so cool

BUT YEAH it is so funny to me too that all of them are based on Arthurian legends EXCEPT Siegfried, and yet they keep integrating major stuff from the Siegfried's legends into the overall story (from Fafnir to Gunther, i even noticed that his godson, Litch, was a reference to a German Opera telling the story of Siegfried), and in the end not only Siegfried is the most overpowered and the coolest of them all, but he EARNED it!!!!

And yeah i've read up quite a bit on the Siegfried's legends and stuff, I can see the ways Granblue took inspiration from it and it's honestly pretty cool. Like anytime they take inspiration from something it's really different by the end but the details they decide to include are so interesting it really fleshes it all out.

god Siegfried is so cool.

I had to spark for his summer when it came out at the time, and his Yukata version is still snobbing me. When will i get your Yukata version Siegfried. I need you.

And as for you... cheering for Belial to have mercy on you. Next free pulls, i have to believe!

Beyblade Burst - Main Antagonist Introductions

Beyblade Burst has a series called Meet The Bladers, which goes through certain people in the series and describes them. It often includes scenes of the people themselves from episodes. This post is a collection of all the introductions of the main antagonist bladers who have been part of the Meet The Bladers series. Before that, a list of who I consider to be the main antagonists, listed per season.

Disc 1 refers to someone who takes the role until the true main antagonist comes along, whether as a rival, a minor villain, or any other role. An antagonist is not a villain and can even be an ally/friend of the protagonist that they battle.

As it is for bladers only, there was nothing of this kind for Theodore Glass. Weirdly, Arthur Peregrine doesn't have one despite being the overarching main antagonist of Rise/GT. Shu and Spryzen are listed on the same line as Spryzen possessed Shu and became the main blading antagonist alongside its blader.

Shu Kurenai (Burst - Disc 1)

Lui Shirosagi (Burst)

--------------------------------------------------

Free de la Hoya (Evolution - Disc 1)

Joshua Burns (Evolution - Disc 1)

Lui Shirosagi | Lost Lúinor Nine Spiral (The Spear of Ruin - Judeo-Christian mythology - Basis: St. Longinus and his Holy Spear)

Hanami: He's won 4 National Tournaments in a row, and he's one terrifying force of nature. Please welcome Lui Shirosagi!

Crowd: *Cheering*

Nika: He's the one who beat Shu?

Right, and their rivalry's intense. See, Lui's frighteningly powerful and he knows it.

Lui: I only accept an opponent's challenge if they seem like they'd be worth the effort.

To him, other bladers are just waiting to be beaten.

Lui: You're a terrible blader.

Valt: Huh?!

Totally reckless, (Lui: Heh heeeh.) Lui couldn't care less what happens to anyone (Valt: Aah!) as long as HE wins.

Valt: You almost hit me, dude.

Lui: Ha, whatever.

Lui/Valt: Let it rip!

Lui's bey is an incredibly unique attack type. Lost Lúinor spins counter-clockwise. It's most trusted move?

Lui: Lost Spiral!

Lúinor: *Roars*

Watch Lui and let it rip on Beyblade Burst.

Lui: I'm gonna smash your dreams into bits!

Joshua Burns | Blast Jinnius 5Glaive Guard (The Wind Genie - Arabian/Islamic mythology - Basis: The Jinn/Djinn/Genie)

Today, we're taking a look at one of the strongest teams in the world, America's Raging Bulls. Their owner, Theodore Glass, is always 5 steps ahead of the curve. (Free/Shu: Rip!) He cherry-picks (Fafnir: *Roars*) top talents to beef up (Spryzen: *Roars*) the Bulls roster. For instance, Japan's wonderkid, Shu Kurenai.

Raging Bulls Staff Member: He's won more matches than the two of you combined.

Then, Glass poached the world champion of Beyblade, Free de la Hoya.

Theodore: I've got very high hopes for your performance.

These days Glass has tapped up blockbuster movie star and Beyblade supernova to be the captain of the Bulls, the inimitable...

Joshua: Joshua. Heh. Joshua Burns.

Joshua: We're ready!

Word is, Joshua joined the Raging Bulls just to prove himself to Free. Free's kind of his idol.

Joshua: Wait! Free! I'm coming! We'll grab lunch! Do you eat lunch?!

And Joshua definitely has a reputation to uphold. He's one of the Big 5, the top bladers in the world. His bey, Blast Jinnius, is a defence type featuring two techniques loaded with star power. Cyclone Wall raises Jinnius during battle to keep it free from harm.

Joshua: Time to end this thing!

Then, it's curtains with Cyclone Counter. Jinnius' layer slams down on its opponent with a powerful show-stopping strike. Can Joshua take the Raging Bulls to the top of the box office?

Joshua: I smell a best actor nod!

Watch Joshua and the Raging Bulls and let it rip on Beyblade Burst Evolution!

--------------------------------------------------

Free de la Hoya | Drain Fafnir 8 Nothing (The Golden Dragon - Norse mythology - Basis: The cursed dragon/worm Fáfnir)

Check it out! It's Free de la Hoya.

Valt: You recognise that guy?

Rantaro: The world's top blader? Of course I do.

Not only is he the captain and secret weapon of BC Sol, Free is a blader of seemingly superhuman abilities. I know, I know. He's not what you'd expect.

Free: *Yawns*

Valt: He seems so... bored.

Rantaro: Uh, dude? You look like you've been hypnotised or something.

Lots of people think Free's a bit of a space case. Not so! He just, uh, marches to the beat of his own drum. As BC Sol's owner, Kris is one of few who truly understands Free.

Trad: Hey, Free! Pay attention!

Kristina: No, never mind. Just leave him.

At first glance, Free may seem lazy, but he trains harder than anyone else. He's unique in every way. Even Free's bey launch is one of a kind.

Valt: Where's your launcher?

Free: Not using one.

Valt: Huh?

Speaking of his bey, Drain Fafnir, it may look shaky, but it gets stronger each time its hit by a clockwise-spinning bey.

Free: I'm absorbing your power.

Silas: No bey can do that!

Free: Well, mine can.

Free: Rip!

Because of his out-of-this-world skill, plenty of teams have their eyes on Free.

Theodore: What a shame he's on the wrong side. He'll come to us.

Free loves BC Sol more than anyone, and he'll do whatever it takes to help his team, even... leave?

Valt: *Gasp*

Shasa/Rantaro: *Gasp*

Kit/Honey: *Gasp*

Free: See ya around.

Watch to find out just what Free is up to next on Beyblade Burst Evolution!

Shu Kurenai | Legend Spryzen 7 Merge (The Protector Giant - Cornish mythology - Basis: The Spriggan)

Spryzen (possessing Shu Kurenai) | Spryzen Requiem 0 Zeta (The Protector Giant - Cornish mythology - Basis: The Spriggan)

Version 1:

Introducing Shu Kurenai.

Reporter: Many are calling him the most talented blader to emerge in over a decade.

A member of the Supreme 4, the greatest bladers in the country, he gets the game inside and out.

Toko: Awesome!

Nika: He's so cool!

(Fangirls: *Fangirling*) Beloved by fans the world over...

Nika: Shu, we love you!

...Shu Kurenai is a Beyblade superstar. But fame hasn't changed him. Shu remains humble, hard-working and trains all the time. With his bey Storm Spryzen and their amazing signature move Counter Break, (Spryzen: *Roars*) Shu's putting a new spin on the game that's all his own. But above all, Shu is cool, cool, cool!

Valt: What do you say?

Shu: I'm not really a club-joining kind of guy.

Valt: Aaah?

That's a classic cool guy move.

Valt (muffled due to mouth being full): What do you call this stuff?

Shu: It's called spaghetti carbonara.

(Valt: Mmm! Oh!) And he can cook too?!

Watch Shu and let it rip on Beyblade Burst!

Shu: Hmm.

Version 2:

Shu Kurenai is missing.

Valt/Rantaro: Huh?!/Ah!

Wakiya: I know where to start our search!

Wakiya: I've found it.

Deep in the dangerous jungles of Mexico...

Daigo/Rantaro: Hm?

Snake: *Hiss*

Valt: Aaaaaaaaah!

...Rumours tell of a secret Beyblade society. Their single-minded objective to train the strongest, most savage bladers (Two snakes: *Hiss*) of all time. This is the (Snake: *Hiss*) Snake Pit.

Security: Enter if you dare.

(Snake Pit bladers: Ah!) Here, only the strong survive.

Snake Pit bladers: *Sounds of hard training.*

Theodore/Black Eye: Failures must leave./*Gasp* Aa!

Black Eye: Aaaah!

No underground society would be complete without a shady ruler.

Theodore: You may call me Ashtem.

And his shadier disciples. Hey, those beys look familiar.

Daigo: They're just like ours.

They've got shadow versions of everyone's beys?! Who ARE these copycat bladers? Ashtem's most powerful disciple is...

Shu: Red Eye, and my bey is... Legend Spryzen.

Valt: Huh?!

Hey! That's Shu Kurenai's bey! What's going on here?!

Shu: I know how to harness its true strength.

Legend Spryzen is a balance-type bey that can spin both clockwise AND counter-clockwise.

Shu: Axe Launch!

Spryzen: *Roars*

Valt: Aa- aa.

Is there any stopping Red Eye (Spryzen: *Roars*) and the rest of the Snake Pit? Find out on Beyblade Burst Evolution!

--------------------------------------------------

Kurt Baratier | Boom Khalzar 7Under Hunter (The Hurricane Bird God - Mayan mythology - Basis: The war serpent deity Kukulkan)

Bisuke: Hooligans, punks and goons, draw near! Time for you to cheer as your dear Emperor is here.

Kurt's gang: *Cheering*

Introducing the one and only Kurt Baratier. Before Free became (Free: Rip!) number one, Kurt Baratier, (Kurt: Heh heh heh) a.k.a. The Emperor, (Kurt: Let it rip!) was the world's top blader.

Kurt: I rule the blading world.

He reigned over the rankings without a single loss to his name. Having risen to the top of his game, Kurt grew bored with the official tournaments, then one day, he left the blading world altogether. He began battling in an underground blading ring with seriously high stakes.

Kurt: If Valt loses, I take his bey. It's that simple.

This is where Kurt holds court over his motley crew of loyal subjects.

Bisuke: Coming through, out of the way! Didn't anyone ever teach you to make way for royalty?

Bladers: Nnh?

Bisuke: Ngeeheheheheheeh.

His bey, Boom Khalzar, is a high-speed attack type.

Kurt: Arise, Khalzar!

Khalzar: *Roars*

It commands 2 regal techniques, Thunder Attack and...

Kurt: Bolt Attack!

Now, Kurt's returned to official Beyblade competition (Crowd: *Cheering*) as a (Kurt: Hnn hnn) wild card in the (Bisuke: Yeah!) International Bladers Cup. (Gang member: Show no mercy!) But why? Has The Emperor set his royal sights on reclaiming his crown? (Khalzar: *Roars*)

Kurt: Be very afraid. Things are only going to get worse from here on in.

Watch Kurt and let it rip on Beyblade Burst Evolution!

--------------------------------------------------

Valt Aoi | Wonder Valtryek 12 Volcanic + Turbo Valtryek Zenith Evolution (The Battle Goddess - Norse mythology - Basis: The Valkyrie)

Valt: *Gasp*

Valt: Let's do this thing!

This is (Valt: Yeeeaaaah!) Valt Aoi.

Valt: I'm gonna crush this!

Yeah, (Valt: *Gasp*) Valt's enthusiasm and energy are way off the charts.

Valt: Alright!

Sometimes, it makes up for the fact he (Valt: Aaaaaagh!) tends to lose his cool. Valt's heart's in the right place, and he's a great communicator.

Valt: *Imitating a bey battle*

He makes friends wherever he goes. Even with his toughest Beyblade rivals. Beyblade is everything to Valt, (Valt: Let it rip!) and with his bey, Victory Valtryek, (Valt: Let's go!) and their awesome signature moves...

Valt: It's time for a Rush Launch!

...They may be headed... to the top of their game.

Valt: Together we're gonna become the best Beyblade team in the world!

Join Valt and let it rip on Beyblade Burst!

Valt: Time for my happy dance.

--------------------------------------------------

Hyde | Dread Hades 11Turn Zephyr' (The Underworld God - Greek mythology - Basis: The underworld deity Hades)

Phi | Revive Phoenix 10 Friction + Dread Phoenix 10 Friction (The Immortal Bird - Greek mythology - Basis: The Phoenix)

They say he appeared from a fallen meteor.

Naru: Wait, do you think he's an alien?

No matter what the rumours say, the facts are, Phi is one terrifying opponent.

Phi: It seems your eyes have seen something they never should have stumbled upon.

His bey, Revive Phoenix, is a defence-type bey with a mind-blowing secret.

Aiger: We did it! Nngh. It didn't burst.

That's right. The first time Phoenix bursts it only loses its outer armour. It can even use its armour as a weapon.

Phi: Revive Crush!

Phi draws his power as a blader from his intense resonance with Phoenix. He senses a similar connection between Aiger & Achilles and it fascinates him.

Phi: Seems Achilles wants to battle as much as we do.

But Phi's not the only one who's noticed there's something about Aiger.

Hyde: Ah, so this is why Phi wanted to toy with him.

Phi's twin brother Hyde and his bey Dread Hades have also taken an interest in Aiger's power. A balance-type, Hades is one of the heaviest beys in existence. But its strength is never more obvious than when Hyde's using...

Hyde: Dread Gravity!

Hades encircles its opponent, smashing them around like a bey-shaped pinball. These techniques are driven by Hyde's own warped resonance with Hades.

Hyde: What magnificent power! Now this is true resonance!

With that kind of intensity, it's no surprise that these brothers have taken sibling rivalry to a whole new level. As children, they fought over who would get (Hyde: Ah, I want this one!) Hades... and Phi lost. That resentment fuels the tension between them to this day.

Phi: You shall lose everything!

Tempers are boiling over as Phi finally exacts his revenge and takes back what's his. Keep watching to find out how far Phi & Phoenix will go on Beyblade Burst Turbo!

--------------------------------------------------

Delta Zakuro | Venom/Erase Devolos Vanguard Bullet + Master Devolos Generate (The Devil Dragon - Judeo-Christian mythology - Basis: Satan)

Endless style and talent, burning passion, Delta Zakuro's got it all.

Delta: Nnh!

But what he doesn't have is patience for bladers who aren't on his level.

Delta: You're a nuisance.

Delta puts in hours of hard work to be the best, and the fruits of his labour shine through when he battles.

Delta: Go, Devolos!

Devolos is a balance-type that can alternate between two modes, the clockwise-spinning Venom Devolos and the counter-clockwise-spinning Erase Devolos. So no one has any idea how he'll attack... unless he tells them.

Delta: I'm going with Erase Devolos.

Kinda like that. When they unleash their signature move...

Delta: Dual Phantom!

Devolos' tip splits in two! The small clone then attacks their opponent while Devolos focuses on spinning.

Delta: Devolos is going to swallow up all of your light!

Devolos: I'm starving!

The blading world better watch out 'cause these two are a force to be reckoned with.

Watch Delta & Devolos and let it rip on Beyblade Burst Rise!

Delta: Only one star in the sky can shine the brightest.

--------------------------------------------------

Arthur Peregrine | Prime Apocalypse 0Dagger Ultimate Reboot' (The Sword of the End - Judeo-Christian mythology - Basis: The dragon that bestowed power upon The Beast and caused the Apocalypse)

ERROR 404 - Meet The Bladers episode not found.

--------------------------------------------------

Gwyn Reynolds | Royal Genesis Hybrid + Eclipse Genesis Hybrid (The Beginning Shield - Judeo-Christian mythology - Basis: The origin of life known as the Genesis)

Mystery + intelligence + a mastery of hyperphysics = Gwyn Reynolds, an enigmatic math whiz with a knack for solving the toughest of equations. As a newcomer to the blading world, Gwyn's inspiration to battle was brought to life when he witnessed Dante and Delta's face-off with Arthur Peregrine.

Gwyn: You know, Beyblade... might just be fun.

Even with his Royal Genesis undefeated, Gwyn never stopped reaching for something more.

Gwyn: It's complete. Eclipse Genesis.

Eclipse Genesis is a defence-type with a Burst Prevention System, making its super high defences that much tougher to crack, and nothing says defence like blowing your opponents away!

Gwyn: Eclipse Pulse!

Gwyn thinks he's got it all figured out, but can Dante inspire him one more time?

Watch Gwyn & Genesis and let it rip on Beyblade Burst Rise!

Gwyn: Finally... I found the answer.

--------------------------------------------------

Lain Valhalla | Vex Lucius Mobius 2D + Lucius Endbringer Kou Drift (The Fallen Angel - Judeo-Christian mythology - Basis: The fallen archangel Lucifer)

A rookie blader is out to topple the blading legends and he's got one name.

Shu: Lain.

Hyuga: Lain!

Hikaru: Lain...

Senor: Lain Valhalla!

Lain: Nnnrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Lain's a powerhouse who came out of nowhere and he's trained by Shu Kurenai himself, so you know he's got skills.

Lain: There's nothing in this world I can't do.

Now, the blading legends are in his sights and he's not backing down.

Lain: Who needs legends? They're nothing but a waste of space!

But if he's going to take on the world's top bladers, he'll need a bey unlike any other.

Lain: The most powerful bey ever, Vex Lucius!

Vex Lucius is an indestructible defence-type. That's right. In-de-structible. When it unleashes Vexing Wall, nothing can even touch it. Powered by a raw energy he calls Flare, Lain continues to grow beyond his limits. But if no one can touch Lucius or Lain, who will stop his Flare from devouring him completely?

Watch Lain & Lucius and let it rip on Beyblade Burst Surge!

Lain: I'm gonna need you to up your game to fuel my Flare.

--------------------------------------------------

Rashad Goodman | Glory Regnar Over High Xtend+' (The Archangel of Light - Judeo-Christian mythology - Basis: The archangel/angel Raphael)

Make way! Make way! Beyblade's knight in shining armour has arrived. Rashad Goodman's always wanted to be just like his idol, Valt Aoi.

Rashad: I know everything about you and Valtryek. I mean it! I know more than anyone else.

And Valtryek made Rashad the blader he is today. Ernest, good-hearted and true, Rashad is a prime example of what a blader should be.

Rashad: Us bladers got to stick together, right?

But its his skill that earned Rashad the title of High Prince, and his partner Glory Regnar is the perfect crown.

Rashad: I'd like you to meet Glory Regnar.

Regnar is a balance-type bey. When it armours up with Glory Crown, it keeps its weak points out of harms way, making it nearly impossible to damage.

Rashad: I summon the brightest light, with Glory Crown!

The High Prince is a gallant blader who can do no wrong. He's a shining light to guide the way, a role model through and through.

Watch Rashad & Regnar and let it rip on Beyblade Burst QuadDrive.

Rashad: This is one step closer to my TRUE goal.

Altar of the Cult [Part 2]

We next see Fafnir in the room he fell in. He’s a bit dazed, but thinks he’s fallen into an altar.

As he further regains consciousness, he realizes he can’t move his body. He sees that his arms and legs are tied. When the demons reveal themselves, he’s none too pleased, asking what they’re doing and demanding to be released from his shackles. He’s only met with sneering/laughing, so he starts to cast his Primordial Sun spell…

Only to have it interrupted. His spell actually won’t work. With no means of defending himself, he is now at the mercy of the enemy attacking and torturing him. Even after telling them that he’ll instantly heal, they continue their attack. From the room above, Yuji now understands that the point is to not necessarily be killed immediately, but to experience immense torture.

Gordon explains the king of this place used to perform sacrifices to the Dark God here in order to gain immortality. Suffering is an important part of these sacrifices, as it’s said to have made the Dark God happy. The king would find ways to maximize the pain and suffering for these rituals, which would include ripping out many victims’ still-beating hearts. The king would be granted said immortality, and would use necromancy to resurrect and manipulate the sacrifices’ dead bodies.

Gordon confirms this.

Had he been caught after the trap, Fafnir would’ve been tortured plenty for an hour or so, based on his experience here from 10 years ago. Before Yuji can use his single braincell to process the weight of that exposition, Gordon urges them to hurry up. The pitfall leads to a room that is two floors below them.

We cut back to Fafnir being painfully tortured, now having caught on to the demons’ intentions. He wonders how long will this go on, and if these tireless can really keep going forever.

When Yuji makes it to the room, he notices that it’s a little familiar, built in a way reminiscent to the Ancestor. He spots Fafnir and alerts Gordon to get into position. He wants to save him quickly, but Gordon tells him to wait for the right opportunity to strike. Another aspect of torture is that it can lure out the victim’s friends

(Gordon STAYS dragging Fafnir Andjdksnskf it’s SO funny to me)

This is what happens to those who get caught in these traps. Looks like Gordon’s also projecting his own traumatic experiences here.

{DeepL Translation for Gordon’s line: “And to add insult to injury, he even got his friends involved in his death....... He's just like those idiots.”}

Yuji isn’t liking Gordon’s wording at all here, calling that awful. He understands that falling into the trap is indeed his own fault, but to leave him in that position…

After the brief scolding, Gordon admits he was captured the same way as Fafnir 10 years ago. Back then, when his adventuring party was considered the best in the country, he let it go to his head. In trying to rescue him, one of his friends died, and the others became disabled like him. He still blames himself for his recklessness, and wishes he had died back then instead.

Yuji cannot believe what he’s hearing. He will always help a friend in need, so don’t tell him who’s worth saving. Gordon doesn’t understand his way of thinking, believing it to be foolish as well. In fact, it reminds him of his friend who died. He was even a lewd person like Yuji, too. He was actually the first person to originate his old adventuring party.

{DeepL Translation of his next lines bc I really love them for Gordon: When I was playing with him, teasing him, saying I love him and coming at him head-on... Oh, those days were really, really fun...}

After a moment of silence, he tells Yuji to listen carefully, and then Google Translate proceeds to immediately demolish the vibes with this hiccup. 😂

(I think he means he’s gonna create an opening for Yuji with a distraction lmfao XD)

#fkare #I never expect fkare to get heavy and then it decides to drop this on my head like a cartoon piano #the whiplash of the traumatic backstory to google mistakenly saying he’s gonna FU€K the skeletons amdjfkkdkfkfkt
